Door light flashes 4 times and can hear 4 clunks?

I went to use my washing machine this morning and the door light would flash 4 times and once i pressed start button i could hear 4 clunks and the machine would not start. The power also went out last night while the washing machine was switched on but not in use.

First measure the door lock, make sure it's fine, then ensure that there's current flowing towards the door lock. if it'll trip all the electricity out you'll need to ru very close inspection or to replace the main circuitboard

Some appliances malfunction can be displayed in hexadecimal or in binary code.
So your device is defective and shows you what's wrong. You have to count how many times flashes red light and how many times flashes green light. Red light shows the first error number and green light the second error number. For example: you forgot to close the door and you started washing machine. After some time (timeout) will generate an alarm. Four times will flash red light and once the green light which means error code " E41 " or "Open door"
" E20 " means "No drain water"
" E10 " means "No fill up water"

is it the tub that clunks?was it very noisy in the spin cycle?if so the spider gear is gone and it would be cheaper to replace the washer.you should only be adding two tablespoons of soap that's it,alot of people use to much soap and it eats at the spider gear,if you look inside the tub at the back wall you'll see a piece sign,that's the gear located on the back of the tub

Hello,
It sounds like a door switch fault see if the end light and the start/pause light are flashing count the flashes if end flashes 4 times and the start/pause once or maybe more this could be error 41, door switch fault.A door switch would cost about $ 20 but there may still be a problem with the main Programmer.
Good luck.

Sounds like a door lock problem. May just be a weak spring in the door handle which helps push the door lock pin against the contacts in the door lock switch. If you open the door and push on the pin or operate the handle the pin should return positively to its closed position, if very weak return then spring wants replacing. Take door apart to gain access to handle and spring and replace spring if broken.

When
the dishwasher doesn't sense a water temperature increase, it will
stop working and lock the functions (clean light flashes 7 times, all
buttons are non responsive). It does this as a safety in case the
element is broken and feeding electrical current into the water.

To resolve this you will have to reset the console. Do this by closing the door and press these buttons in sequence...

-high temp wash-heated dry-high temp wash-heated dry

...all
the lights will turn on briefly and the machine will start a diagnostic
cycle. You can press cancel or let the diagnostic cyle finish (1-2
minutes). You should now be able to run the dishwasher as normal.

If
the issue returns, you could have a problem with the heating circuit
(ie. element, thermostat or wiring). It rarely happens but it could
also be the door switch not engaging properly when the door is closed
(slightly bend the door latch down making sure it doesn't hit the door
when you close it).

try turning the timer knob/programme selector dial round to a black dot, switch appliance off then back on again. the red light should flash once, then pause, then twice then pause then three times. the appliance should now be reset and your door should open, if not there could be a fault on the main pcb control unit.
hope this helps

If you have had a lightning storm or power surge it may have fried the electronics panel. That is what happened to mine. Once it is fixed you should put a surge suppressor on it that is rated for major appliances.
